I had a startling epiphany tonight. It was regarding suicide.
Not mine but read on.

One of the reasons I moved from Blogspot to WordPress is because I have more administrative powers when it came to page development and access [...]

My Two New Loves: CNBC and Buffet

Well here’s brief update on my interests. I’ll be succinct.

Stock game plan- On Hold
I’ve found that my mock portfolio is quelling my investing appetite for now. Given that I don’t have much to invest, I’ve decided to hold off on the real deal. I have my watch list, I’m reading books, reading online, and [...]

Let’s Check my Stocks

Well, I’ve had my mock portfolio up and running for a while now and thought I should hold myself accountable by reporting back to my loyal subjects how I’m fairing.

So, on June 17th I bought 1351.35 shares of Origin Oil at 37 cents. Which cost 500 bucks. I sold all shares 1 month 1 day [...]

HR Job?

So my dad called me today. He is always interested in what I’m thinking about doing post-grad (answer: dunno yet). His newest question was if I’ve looked into what careers people pursue with bachelors in psychology. I have, and sure, that option is definitely on the table. The example he used is a career in [...]

Do Not Read: Investing Pre-Game Show I

I’m serious. Don’t read it, It doesn’t make sense after a while because I stopped working on it and just wrote whatever I was thinking in the moment. The following are my rambling in trying to decide between Zecco, Scottrade, and Tradeking brokerages . I looked at A LOT of factors. All you need to [...]

SINE

CRAP CRAP CRAP!! On Fool.com I checked out how my mock stock picks were stacking up. I find out my SINE pick was the second highest gainer today!!!!! Number two out of over 1,000 stocks!! I would have gained 61 bucks today on that stock!!! Add in my original purchase of Origin Oil and I [...]

First U.S. war crimes trial starts at Guantanamo

(I borrow my title from a reuters.com article)

The Supreme Court ruled that Terrorists can take their cases before an American military court and that’s just what they’re doing. This is the first time this has happened since the Nuremberg trials of WWII.

I read this book in December and I highly recommend it. It outlines the [...]

Indymac- Socialist Banking

Holy Cow! Now Indy Mac went under a few days ago. I thought this was ridiculous:

On June 26, 2008, several letters by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, chairman of Congress’ Joint Economic Committee and the third-ranking Democrat in the Senate, were released. These opined that “The possible collapse of [...]

My Stock Thoughts

Hmm.. A good idea is to buy stocks cheap. When the economy is hurting (like it clearly is) everything is undervalued– meaning that in 5+ years they’ll be worth much more once the economy turns around. Like it always does. That’s right people, markets cycle like Nephites. Buy low sell high? Right now it’s low. [...]

FOX v CNN: Night and Day

So I watch CNN religiously for reasons previously mentioned. For a change of pace I am going to switch to FOX for a while to see what’s up. I’ve only been watching it for 2 days or so but my oh my is it a huge difference. Huge difference. CNN focuses on how real and [...]

“This is not a Drill”

This is why I read Ann Coulter. This is her latest article and it cracks me up
(I don’t block quote it cuz that would be annoying to read):
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or as she is called on the Big Dogs blog, “the worst speaker in the history of Congress,” explained the cause of [...]

BYU Alum ‘o8. That’s me.

I used to feel like there is 1 job out there that I was predestined to find and find now. Currently I feel like it’s more like a game of hot/cold– I feel that I’m supposed to come to a fork in the road, choose one path, only to come to another. Sometimes the choices [...]

My Bike Ride to Mt. Sinai

I don’t keep a journal, so I’ll just tell you my experience. It sounds kind of corny, I know, but I feel like I just got back from a 3 week vacation. I feel like a new person.

I picked up my bike today (new road tires) and put on a headlamp, odometer, fanny pack thing, [...]

Jesse Jackson is a Racemonger, not a hero.

Hahaha. I reiterate what I said before: Jesse Jackson is a through and through racist.

Read this article from the NY Post and try to follow Jackson’s logic.

JESSE JACKSON SAYS HE WANTS TO CUT OBAMA’S ‘NUTS OFF’

By CHARLES HURT, D.C. Bureau Chief

In a vulgar tirade caught on tape by Fox News, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said [...]

My Health and Hobbies

Intellectual Emotional Spiritual Financial Physical

In the autobiography Convictions, John Kroger worked thirteen hour days seven days a week. After three years he decided to take his first vacation. What can I say, his job was his life. So I [...]

Wealth Management

Between homework and class, here’s what I’ve been thinking about today…

I found out a few days ago that I will become financially on my own in January. No more ‘Parent Life Scholarship’ to pay for everything. Although I will receive a few subsidies, for the most part I will be on my own. Therefore I [...]

I now read 500+ wpm

So I have always been a slow reader. I read a lot, but slowly. So I wanted to learn more about speed reading. It’s actually good stuff and works! Stuff like subvocalization (bad) and chunking (good). So I am now able to read at 500 wpm comfortably– on my computer screen which should be [...]

Should I Double Major??

What do you think?
Background
So I will take the LSAT (again) and apply to law schools in October then be ready to graduate in December. However, there’s a chance that I will only be accepted to my ’safety net’/plan B law schools… when I get to that bridge– March or so– maybe I’ll be ok with [...]

War on Drug Cartels: We’re Losing.

“Cocaine is God’s way of saying you’re making too much money” – Robin Williams

…a typical scam[:] A cartel member… volunteered to become a DEA informant for pay. A few weeks later the “informant” reached out to his DEA handlers and told them that a major drug shipment, a million dollars of marijuana, hidden inside a [...]

I’m not Suicidal: of Girlfriends and LSATs :(

What a horrible past few days. Especially the past 24 hours. Just awful. Terrible, horrible, no good very bad day. I can’t remember a worse 24 hours in a long long time. Everything was going my way just 2 days ago and now I’m left with a hope and a prayer. Luckily, as my mom [...]
